Ron was GM of our Eastman-owned KAFY- Bakersfield.before he went to WTMI --Classical music in Miami. I recommended Ron for WQAM to Bud Armstrong at Storz. We repped Bud in St Louis. Told Ron to get the job he'd have get a short haircut--wear a suit--white shirt and tie vs his Hippie long hair and Beatnik blue jeans. He argued like crazy but did and got the job. Ron was a clasy guy when Radio was lots of fun. We'll miss Ron.

Since then I have worked with him...for him...around him...and because of him. Ron is the guy that was the very soul of the small business attitude of radio in the 60's, 70's and 80's. He knew us ALL and cared for us ALL in the times when Radio was MAGIC and built on personal contacts and a belief that RADIO WORKS...Ron promised us that it would... it did.
Bless you my friend

Not to sure Miami would have been as kind to me as you were all my life. I would know far less of the world without your cosmopolitan tutelage! What an exciting childhood I had, HUGE thanks to you. You made our world a better place and mine a wonderland fairy tale
